Shame on the owners and management of The Sharon. They are scalping their own tickets to up the profit . I will nerver support your theater again and I hope no one will purchase these scalped tickets.  |
When the Elton John tickets went on sale for Orlando a few weeks ago the same thing happened. It’s not the venue doing it.
I would say that The Sharon could, for shows they know will be a hit, do box office sales only and still sell out. But they host plenty of other wonderful acts that don’t sell out, even with the online system.
